Five Quick Tips for Getting Your Blog on the First Page of Google

It is so easy to make money with a blog. Whether the purpose of your
blog is to get traffic to your sales page or to sell affiliate products
or to get Adsense clicks, getting your blog onto the first page of
Google can be done quickly and easily.

Using the following quick tips you could get listed on the first
page of Google for some keywords within a month or two, depending on
how competitive your niche is. A video game site that followed these
tips got on the first page of Google, in the fifth spot, for a popular
search term when the site was less than one month old.

Here are the five quick tips for getting to the first page of Google:

1. Put some original content on your blog. Post at least once a day
but not more than every two to three hours. It doesn't look good if you
are posting every few minutes. Continue adding new content regularly.
Some of the content can be duplicate content (from an article directory
or private label rights articles) but the more original content the
better.

2. When you have at least five posts with original content then
submit your blog to Google's sitemap. It's not hard, and it only takes
a few minutes. As long as you have a blog that looks authentic and is
not filled with scraped content, this is a good start to getting
noticed by Google.

3. Write some original articles and submit them to article
directories such as EzineArticles.com, GoArticles.com,
ArticleAlley.com, and SearchWarp.com. Do not submit more than one a day
since it is better to not inundate the article directories or they
might think you are spamming them. It is very important to have a good
resource box with links back to your site.

4. Submit your RSS feed to at least fifty sites. This can be done
in less than a couple of minutes using RSS Submit (RSSFeedsSubmit.com),
a great piece of software that automatically submits your feed to more
than fifty sites. The price is very reasonable (less than 50) but if
you don't want to spend any money and would rather do it by hand, Robin
Good sells a list of 55 RSS submission sites for a very small fee.

5. Get your URL link listed in as many places as possible. Submit
your site to directories like DMOZ. Answer questions at
answers.yahoo.com and include your URL with your signature. Leave
comments on blogs that are in a related niche to yours, again including
your URL in the signature. Do a search with the phrase "keyword add
url" and add your URL at sites that allow you to do it for free.
"Keyword" would be replaced by one of your keywords for your niche.
Submit your blog to Technorati. Submit your original posts to social
bookmarking sites like Digg, Netscape, Redit, Plugim, and so on. Be
sure to tell friends to vote for your submissions at the social
bookmarking sites.

These five quick tips will give your blog a powerful boost and get
your blog on the first page of Google in a very short time. Within days
you should be getting traffic from Google as you rise in the search
engines. And you did it with spending little or no money.
